Building materials are not just inanimate components used to construct buildings; they are the cornerstone of the evolution of civilizations. From clay and stone in ancient Egypt to the reinforced concrete we see today, these materials have played a pivotal role in shaping cities and societies. Did you know that the Pyramids of Giza were built using more than 2 million stone blocks, some weighing up to 80 tons? Today, with advances in technology, industries are moving towards using more sustainable and smarter materials, such as 3D printing, which is now being used to build houses in just a few days. This shift reflects not only the desire to innovate, but also the need to reduce cost and protect the environment.
